Gardener’s Diary: Ready for Summer

I finished digging out the new vegetable garden today and transplanted most of the turf to the small patch of grass to the right of the driveway.

Here’s a before (right) and after (left).

The planters are done. I picked up a tray of snapdragons at Roche Brothers and we shopped at Attaquin Acres for sweet potato and marigolds.

The outdoor shower is in place, too.

Robert’s birdhouse has tenants for the first time. I was just outside in the hammock, enjoying the damp summer-like air and watching the tiny birds barrel in and out.

James’ strawberry plants are enormous, and Emme’s money plants are doing great.
